Where do you go when you need a doctor, but it's not an emergency?
Washington Urgent Care is a convenient and cost-effective alternative to emergency room care.

Washington Urgent Care's board certified physicians treat patients of all ages with average wait times of less than 30 minutes.

Co-payments are less than emergency room co-payments.

Uninsured patients who are District residents and qualify, receive a discount of 55 percent off their charges at the time of service.

Patients are seen on a walk-in basis for minor emergencies, illnesses and other common medical needs, such as:

Lacerations, cuts, bruises, sprains, fractures and other injuries

Asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory illnesses

Abdominal pain and vomiting

Fever, headaches and back pain

Colds, cough, flu and flu-related symptoms

When you or someone you love is sick or has a minor injury, you don't want to wait to get the medical care you need. That's why Washington Urgent Care, the urgent care clinic located on the second floor of Washington West at 2500 Mowry Avenue is open - 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, 365 days a year - to give you high quality urgent care whether you have an appointment or not.
